The Geological Landscapes of Britain project was conceived by author and photographer Julian Ashbourn who resides in Hertfordshire, England, and it reflects his life long interest in the natural world. Britain has a most fascinating and varied geology, the visible expression of which is often strikingly beautiful. The book reflects this reality with comprehensive area by area descriptions, accompanied by some stunning photography which captures these remarkable landscapes as they are today. This work has been very much a labour of love, involving a great deal of travelling and exploring across the length and breadth of Britain. The result is a truly unique book which will be of interest to a broad community both as an academic reference and a work of art in its own right.

The project also initiated a related image library which constitutes a unique collection of  high quality images depicting the British landscape and its geology. It may be found at  http://www.photography.1to1.org
